Ho.Ho.Ho.

I used the Santa and Ho.Ho.Ho from The Stamps Of Life.  The inside saying was just printed from my computer.

Divorce. We didn't like him anyway.

I love the "naughty" line from Unity Stamp Company.   I used the saying from one set and the lady from another.  I think we've all thought this about a friend's ex, now we can send cards telling her that.

Happy Birthday!

Simple Thinking of you

I am so ready for fall temps.  It's still been in the upper 90's here and humid.  OMG, the humidity.  The air seem so thick.  I cannot wait for hoodies, crisp air, football in the cold, changing colors, darker nights...I love everything about fall, except pumpkin flavored stuff.  I'm not a fan of anything pumpkin flavored, especially pie.  Anyway, in my fall dream, I made this simple card for a friend battling cancer.  Simple, thinking of you.  The leaves were colored in watercolor markers, then coated in thick embossing powder a few times to really make them shine and to keep them "thick".  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Hedge Hugs!

I am so in love with this HedgeHog2Stamp set from The Stamps of life.  Are these not the cutest little hedge hogs you've ever seen?  Needing desperately to get back into stamping, this is the first card I made in 2 months.  I cannot take credit for this card.  I cased it from the instagram account of @pnwcraftgirl.  I just completely fell in love with everything about this card.

Whoa! It's been a while!

After Surgery.  A plate and 5 screws

His new Frankenstein foot.  

The broken tibia.

Just when I was getting in the grove of blogging and posting my cards here, and right in the throws of my Christmas in July self challenge, my husband was injured and threw everything off balance.  He still isn't back to walking, he broke his tibia in 3 places after falling off of a ladder while working.  His first work related injury in 20 something years and his first broken bone ever.    Now, here we are, well into September, but thankfully, for my sanity, I am back!
